READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

Grado has no train station.

The nearest station is Cervignano-Aquileia-Grado, about 19km away,

from which the TPL FVG bus line G59 reaches the Grado bus terminal in about 25 minutes.

SAF Autoservizi F.V.G. buses also run the same route.

Since there is no separate transit card system in the area, bus tickets must be purchased at a tabacchi shop or a vending machine at the station,

making this a venue that is effectively reached by car and bus.

Times are local to Grado. Check the latest official information before the race.
